Superpaper review
A focused open-source choice for corrected multi-display wallpaper layouts.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Superpaper is an open-source desktop wallpaper manager for people who run multiple displays and need more control than a basic wallpaper picker provides. It can place one image across all displays, assign separate images to each display, or span an image across display groups. Its strongest fit is for multi-display setups where pixel-density, bezel, or perspective correction matters. It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is distributed under the MIT License.
The platform coverage is broad, but the experience differs by operating system. Windows and Linux include hotkey support, while macOS support is partial and requires installing dependencies and running the project. Superpaper also provides a command-line interface, a tray applet for slideshow control, and configurable slideshows from local image sources. Those options suit users who want local control and keyboard-driven management rather than a wallpaper service built around an online catalog.
Superpaper stays focused on static desktop wallpaper management. Its multi-display layout tools and geometric corrections are more specialized than a simple rotation utility, but the feature set does not extend to live or video wallpapers. Users who need corrected images across several displays, local slideshow rotation, and cross-platform availability should find its scope appropriate. Users seeking animated backgrounds, broader macOS convenience, or hotkey support on macOS should choose a different type of wallpaper application.
